**WE CANNOT DEPEND ON MIRACLES," HE DECLARES
National Council of Jewish Women Will Hold Its 11th Triennial Convention At Washington^ D. C, on Sunday Nov. 14th, And Lay Plans For Its Future Activities
NEW YORK~The views of the Zionist Executive on the present situa¬ tion in Palestine were presented by .Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World .Zionist Organization, in his first public address deliyerctl in New York City ¦since his arrival here last Friday. Dr. Wei?-mann spoke, at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the , United Palestine Appeal and prominent New York Jews affiliated with the Appeal, held Thursday night sit the Astor Hotel. Judgt Vyilliam M. Lewis,, chairman of the United Palestine Appeal, Dr.- Stephen .S< . Wise, honorary chairman, Emanuel Neumann, chairman of the Executive Committee pf-.the Appeal, Dr. George Halpern and Dr. Chairri Ar¬ losoroff addressed the gathering.
"There is a crisis in Palestine which is giving some anxiety, butwe should not allow' our work to be influenced by a.panicky attitiide. , .There is no justi- ,iicaticn in the facts for a panicky atti¬ tude.. The crisis will pass. Better times will'folloxv and new crises, will arrive .¦ and changes will again occur^ ad in¬ finitum, . within' our generation,'! Dr. . Wcizmaim .declared in his address. "One should iiot forget that we are en¬ gaged in building a country at a tiine „ when the entire economic fabric of Eu- '.rope is shattered. The situiationiin Eu- ,. rope^an , countries iiiust reHect itself in our. 'work. Such work, necessary for the continued History of a grCat race, can¬ not proceed as smoothly as one would like it to. Only the work; of a free burial society or a hospital can, proceed smoothly ancl, without difficulties. It. is a task which requires continuous effort and tjie straining, of every nerve, . It is our. misfortune, qr rather, I would say, bur privilege to. he..,permitted to share , the burden of this effort- When I was 'in Palestine two years ago and I ob- ¦ served the high spirit prevalent then^ M knew that after the holiday the week .' days of ordinary tasks, and difficulties must follow. We are facing these diffi¬ culties now. But these difficulties are of, a temporary nature. There, is no
¦ room for despair; there is room only for further work."
Dr.' Weizmann-reviewed the progress made, in Palestine and declared that al¬ though the progress is great, it is not as great and as rapid as we would like
¦ it to be, for the -simple reason that no progress is ever.as quick.as vye want.it
.' to be.. ¦. • • .
"We .have jilst celebrated the niiith anniversary of the Bajfour Declaration. In .reviewing the history of these nine years we must not forget that, the first three years of the! militaYy ..administra¬ tion of Palestine cannot be,counted in the reconstruction period, It is only six years thiit systematic wprk has been- done. ' We' have made progress along the lines of , agriculture aiid industry -and the foundations are' sound. The accumulated experience is of immeas¬ urable value.. I challenge anybody to compare the progress of any civilized country in any part of the world with that made in Palestine, when cbnsidera-' tion is given to ^hc circumstances-which have accompanied oiir work . thei-e. During this time we have accomplished work which causes the admiration of the world. There is nothing in the way
¦ pf reconstruction that cannot be accom¬ plished in Palestine, but it depends upon us. We cannot depend upon miracles.
¦ It is easy if you want it. We have the opportunity. We have the political pre¬ requisites, the experience is there, the need.is pressing, 'We must go higher and highei;., I call on you to undertake the task. We will do h.'* Dr. Weiz¬ mann declared.

COUNCIL INSTITUTIONAL SEWING NEXT FRIDAY
Mrs. Jack Meyers, chairman of the coinmittee oil institutional sewing for the council, wishes to amiouiice that the next sewing will take place'on Friday, November 10th, at the Schonthal Com- niunity House,. 555 E.Rich street.
AU those who are cbiiiing to help sew gowns for the infants', hopie arc urged to report at one p. m.
In the light of the wonderful en¬ thusiasm and harmonious spirit treated .by the tremendous success achieved- by th^ retiring officers and in the hope that the incoming officers will continue in the footsteps of their able and forward looking predecessors, the;grand,banquet and ce'cbration of the Agudath Acbiiii Congregation last Sunday Evening at '.he Wobdmyn's Hall was a unique and unparalleled , affair -^ an affair : which thrilled, every one present and ushered in another year of. good work in the life of the Synagogue.
. Th^ Arrangements Committee
Credit for the successful Consumma- tion of this affair must be given to Mr. Jacob krakOivitz, chairman of the,ban¬ quet committee andthe fpllpw-ing young men vyho constituted the arrangements committee:.: Joseph; Schwartz, chair¬ man; Sam Katz, Harry Maggid, Myer Maggid, and Attorney Samuel Wo'- map. .There is a unanimous opinion that at no previous affair held by the Orthodox Jews of Columbus, .did the fine spirit' of brotherly love and har¬ mony : obtain in greater measure. It was very evident that there was a real aiid powerful unity within the ranks of, the Agudath Achiin. .
Impreesive Exercises
The first portion of the evenings: pro¬ gram consisted of the impressive in- stajlation .exercises in charge of Pro¬ fessor Theodore N. Beckman, of Ohio State University,, who in a clear, con¬ cise fashion recounted the past achieve- nients of the big "Schule", emphasiz- ing the splendid work done, by the last administration ' under the . masterful guidance and direction of Jacob l-Crako- witz. .
"I firmly believe," the professor de-^ clafed, "that if the next administration will only continue with uiinbated zeal and vigor the inutbods of the outgoing administration, a genuine success will crown its efforts. 1 want it distinctly understood that in honoring the out¬ going officers, we are but hoiiormg our¬ selves, for _ they have been our serv¬ ants; they have fought our battles; they have championed our rights."
The New OlDcers
After reviewing the multifarious ac¬ tivities of Agudath Achim Congrega¬ tion and pointing but t|fe reasons why this synagogue holds sit.;h a high place in the esteem of Coluijibus Jewry, Pro¬ fessor Beckman installed .the incom¬
ing officers who are as follows: Morris M. Levison, president; Jacob Schotten¬ stcin, vice-president; Morris Horwitz, secretary ;. Harry Scbalit, v ti"eas.urer. The new board of. trustees installed is composed of the following: Bert Wob mnn, Jacob Krakowitz,' Sam . Weiner, Joseph Schwartz, N. Skiiller, Louis Lakin, .I. Nutis, S, Moss, and Abe Krakoff..,
The, beautiful musical program, of the cveniiig was furnished by Cantor An¬ schel Friedman and Mrs., Mary Konni- koff, of Buffalo, New. York, who de¬ lighted the vast audience with their ap¬ pealing renditions ,of classical as \vell as folk songs. Special mentioii should be made here of the.ovaltion given Mrs. Konnikoff at tbe end of the evening's program.. Her personality atid' charm, coupled with her musical ability, won for her a permanent pliice in the hearts of all her auditors. Mrs. Konmkoff is a cousin of Cantor Frjcdman.
A representative of the ChronicIvE reports that hundreds of people were turned away from the banquet which followed the installation ceremonies, due to lack of: accommodations, for every iCoiilinued on page 4)
Leonard Scores An Ovation With His Address Before 2ion Lodge, No. 62
Oscar Leonard of St. Louis, Missouri,; djscussed .various aspect.4 of -the inter- uiarria'.;e (tiiestion at'the last meetiifig f .Zion Lodge ,No. G-:i, I., O. B. B., held at Uealtors'. Hall, Monday cvenhig, No¬ vember 8th. His address was. based on 'Tiie Cod of Might,",A book written by ['Ams Tob^nkin, a man who has given, years of careful study and consideration to the perplexing problems arising out of intei;marriage of Je\v and Gentile. , Mr. Leonard's conclu-sions were that Israel Zangwill's ."Melting Pot" theory, is impractical, for "the. melting pot in¬ stead of fUsiiifj.renlly Confuses." That the speaker was an ardent Jewish na¬ tionalist was very evident, from bis re¬ marks Mbiidaiy eveiiin,!?. He bad no pa¬ tience with "Jews who desired to resign from the household of Israel,", and cast their lots in strange vineyards.
"I waiit to impress one thing on your- minds tonight!. he declare<l, ¦ "and that is our resporisibilily one for another." We cannot shirk this responsibility. Not only is it true that Judaism teaches one to he his brother's keeper^, hut the world expects one Jew to help his fellow Jew.
During the course bf the meetingi President Edelman announced that the State meeting of the L O; B.'B. will take place in Colinnbus this! coming Sunday. :
